Dodson & Horrell Pasture Mix – 20kg

Dodson & Horrell Pasture Mix – 20kg

The original oat-free coarse mix, and still the one most people mean when they ask for a non-heating mix. At an estimated 10 MJ/kg with 9.5% protein and 15% fibre it is pitched at light to medium work, and the oat-free formulation with cooked cereals is what gives it a steadier energy release than a traditional grain mix.

Cooking the cereals matters more than the ingredient list suggests: it improves small intestinal starch digestion, which means less starch reaching the hindgut, and that is where a lot of fizzy behaviour actually originates. Alongside that it carries added L-lysine for muscle, extra biotin and magnesium, and dried carrot, mint, garlic and oregano to keep it going down well.
